<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi <br><br> Seems like a backingstore option problem. Be careful when enabling this using nvidia drivers - on opensuse 11.1 enabling backing store led to X no longer working and serious boot up problems. I now just live with the loss of the display when changing desktops etc.<br><br> JP<br><br>-- <br>

Whenever the<br>graphics window of GrADS is overlapped by other windows, I find that<br>the overlapped portion is wiped clean and I have to explicitly<br>redisplay the graphics. I used to work around this problem earlier<br>with "Option BackingStore on" in the XF86 configuration. However, in<br>my present installation of OpenSUSE 11.2, the BackingStore option in<br>the configuration file "xorg.conf" no longer seems to have
any effect.<br><br>I would greatly appreciate any clue to solve this problem.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Kumar.<br>--<br>========================================<br>Dr. Rupa Kumar Kolli<br>Chief, World Climate Applications & Services Division<br>Climate Prediction and Adaptation Branch<br>Climate and Water Department<br>World Meteorological Organization<br>7bis, av. de la Paix<br>CH-1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland<br><br>Phone: +41-22-730-8377<br>Fax: +41-22-730-8042<br>Email: <a ymailto="mailto:RKolli@wmo.int" href="/mc/compose?to=RKolli@wmo.int">RKolli@wmo.int</a>; <a ymailto="mailto:rupakumar.kolli@gmail.com" href="/mc/compose?to=rupakumar.kolli@gmail.com">rupakumar.kolli@gmail.com</a><br>========================================</div></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
